Real Estate Laws in Alabama.
Alabama real-estate law runs primarily through Title 35 of the Code of Alabama, covering conveyances, liens, landlord-tenant, mortgages, and related property issues. Alabama is a title-theory state that uses a non-judicial foreclosure process, which is why deed-of-trust and mortgage enforcement timing matters a great deal to Alabama homeowners and lenders.
